The Hunter X Hunter Thread (New anime series has begun!)

Milluki or the mother seem to be the most likely candidates honestly.

Also, this chapter has been more interesting than the last bunch of chapters of bleach and naruto combined

@thedamned. looks like heā€™s decapitated to me. and itā€™s unlike hisoka to let him live.

I thought he was decapitated, but I think I can see his head still there in the bottom panel. In anycase, Hisoka slit his neck open.

Damned, by faked I mean Hisoka could have used that texture nonsense to make it look as if he had killed him-- like the shenanigans he pulled with Castro waaaaaaaaaaaay back during that duel tower arc.

Milluki or Mom being the snitch wouldnā€™t really do anything. The thing that was snitched on was Killua knowing that Alluka had more conditions/special things that no one else knew about. This arc is about PROTECTING Killua, not screwing him over.

hoping theres no more hiatusā€¦ lol

i like how even the drawing is all nice and stuff

i think HxH is the only manga i read at the moment, and maybe berserk, but you know how berserk isā€¦

Those are my two #1 series. We really know how to pick them, donā€™t we?

If you look at hunter from the beginning, Togashi has released enough to say that he only missed every other week. Now that he kids are a little older, he might be wanting to spend more time on his manga.

Iā€™d say Gotoh only got his throat slashed instead of decapitated. Thatā€™d be more in line with how Hisoka kills. A single card slash.

Stabby, Milluki being the snitch would make the most sense to me. There were only so many people who discovered that Killua was hiding conditionsā€¦and that would be limited to family. The 3 people present when Killua pulled his conditional wish stunt with Alluka were his dad, his mom and Milluki. Millukiā€™s thought was that he didnā€™t know he could use Alluka that way.
Illumi could simply have paid Milluki for information since heā€™s a greedy bastard. Also, Milluki was the other person who liked to use Alluka. Honestly, we can probably eliminate his mom and dad. Itā€™s probably Milluki as the mole.
Even in this chapter, Tsubone says she canā€™t love Milluki and Illumi the same. Itā€™s kind of all there.

"This arc is about PROTECTING Killua, not screwing him over."
No, itā€™s about protecting themselves too since a screwed up wish will kill the entire family.

Wow, it is probably the fat guy. I didnā€™t notice the ā€œoh shit, you can make conditional wishes?!ā€ line.

(Itā€™s good to see this thread moving for once. If HxH goes on hiatus again, at least before this arc is over, then Iā€™ll be blaming Stabby for continually invoking it.)

I had to look back at Chapter 324 since Du Fugitive brought it up, but I appeared to remember the instance correctly. Milluki didnā€™t only think his comment about the conditional wishing, he said it out loud.

Itā€™s due to the fact that he said it out loud that I thought the butlers, at least the one sent directly by Silva (i.e. Amane & Tsubone), were briefed about it as well to keep Killua from communicating any conditions. It was probably a rush to judgment, though, since the more I think about it, the more Amaneā€™s Junji Ito panels seem like theyā€™re somethingā€¦else.

Also, in hindsight, the look that Silva gives Milluki after his comment about Illumiā€™s manipulation seems a lot more telling/makes a lot more sense. So it probably is Milluki if itā€™s not a butler, especially since, arguably in that same chapter, Kikyo seems to care about Alluka or at least sees Killua being kind to her/him as a good thing rather than looking on completely cold like Silva and Milluki.

Finally, I realized because of that chapter that if Tsubone dies, then that means at least one other person will probably die, since currently sheā€™s the only that Alluka can make requests of (not that Alluka could make more of Killua at present due to that consecutive wish limit). I feel like an idiot for not getting page 19 the first time around, though at least I realized it myself rather than needing TVTropes to help me this time unlike the name puns. I suppose I thought that ā€œmid-wayā€ was only mid-way through a request rather than mid-way through the entire wishing process like it now seems.

P.S. Iā€™m still not sure who the shaggy-haired guy on the bench outside of Gonā€™s room is. However, I just finally recognized List outside of his room due to looking at Hunterpedia a lot lately. For the same reason, I finally remember the name of guy who also works for Killua that was keeping an eye on Gon is Seaquant from WAY earlier in the manga like Canary and Gotoh.

P.P.S. Hunh, interesting. Tsubone is supposedly Amaneā€™s biological grandmother. Kinda makes sense. It would also confirm a realization/theory I had about Canary just yesterday.

Shaggy-haired guy is Dwun from the end of the Greed Island arc.

The mangastream translation gives no indication Kikyo gives a damn about Alluka actually. Sheā€™s just amazed at how cold-blooded Killua is.

I forgive him for not recognizing him since Ging changed his name.

Also, the original art for the end of Greed Island was probably the most fucked up art in the series (except MAYBE when Gon ran into zombie Kaito). Did the queen eat Kaitoā€™s brain?

(Ohā€¦Dwun. I honestly donā€™t remember any of the Gamemasters from Greed Island besides Razor and, technically, Ging.)

Yeah, it seems to be the consensus that the Queen ate at least part of Kaitoā€™s brain, which makes Nef remaking Kaito even more fucked up/weirder.

The top right/first panel of page 3 potentially disagrees; Iā€™m not talking about Kikyo being so proud again that Killua wished to kill her if they couldnā€™t leaveā€“that was obviously praise that had nothing to do with Alluka.

Admittedly, itā€™s not much, but itā€™s something considering Milluki and Silva are talking with rather active disdain/caution comparatively.

Chapter out on mangareader. Translation is pretty bad though, Iā€™ll wait for stream to comment.

Grandmaā€™s power is dumb.

Bitch is a human Transformer faster then a main character who was running at lightning speedā€¦ that has to count for something.

Well, she is an older, (at least somewhat) powerful character that is using a dedicated transportation ability that requires at least one other person dumping lots of their nen into.

Is this Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner? Yes.

I seriously doubt thatā€™s her only power, as goofy as it is. Virtually everyone has secondary powers in the series after all.

Also this makes a little more sense:

Mangastream translation is out.

(And yet you donā€™t link to it while you linked to the far inferior Mangareader version. Remember when you said you were worried about becoming a troll?)

Chapter 328 is out on mangastream now, and it is a much more sensible translation, though for as bad as Mangareader can be, they werenā€™t that far off with most things.

Fuck yeah, TerĀ®adin Neutralā€™s getting involved. For some reason, Iā€™m quite interested in that guy. Probably because heā€™s apparently a Head Hunter like Wing. (Similarly kinda interested in Bushidora, though Blacklist Hunters seem a lot more common.)

This chapter was rather intriguing even though ā€œnothingā€ happened action-wise sans that small chase and Illumi causally fucking over some random, helpless people. Tsuboneā€™s power is especiallyā€¦interesting. Iā€™m not even sure what the fuck that would qualify as if she is the motorcycle since that seems to automatically rule out Conjuration/Materialization. Itā€™s probably Specialization due to how wacky it is.

Amaneā€™s pretty cute when flustered, though when it comes to emotion, Killua proves once again that he might be scariest person in the manga when heā€™s pissed off.

I just remembered that Killua has no idea that Hisoka is with Illumi, especially since I donā€™t think Canary or Amane told him, though they probably donā€™t even know he knows Hisoka himself. Hmmmā€¦ I also just realized that this manga has a decent amount of black people in it and none of them have been remotely stereotypical or anything. Kinda weird to realizeā€¦

New chapter is up

Spoiler

Bushidora gets jobbed so hard

Man everyone is so free.

Morau v Hisoka would be a good fight.
